A house isn't a home without a pet or pets, but the holidays can be a real struggle for pet owners.

If you have cats you know that it's a struggle, but you have to take measures to keep your decorations and pets safe. This is probably especially true if you have cats, right? Though, dogs are known to do their fair share of damage to trees.

So what can you do to pet proof your Christmas tree this year? Here are some tips:

Anchor Your Tree to the WallWe use some pretty heavy fishing line to anchor the tree in two different spots on the wall. That way if your pet climbs the tree, it's less likely they will bring it down.

Put Breakable Ornaments & Decor Higher UpLeave the cheap plastic ornaments at the bottom that way if they are chewed on or kicked off the tree they won't be breakable.
